Re: kindle or android tablet, for mom? Thanks for all your help guys! We ended up getting her a nexus 7 4G. Not quite sure how it works yet, like since theres no sd slot if I can use some sort of usb stick or not, but I'll figure it out before tuesday so I can teach her.  |

Do you have wifi at your house? Yes, I know the one you bought has 4G... 
Also, look in a free Dropbox (or similar) account. Makes it easy to transfer data off of existing computers. |

Pleasant Hill, MO | Yeah we got wifi, but ALL the non 4g ones at every store we called(within a 1 hour drive of our house) were sold out. Even most of the 4g ones were gone, only microcenter(really not a surprise) had even the 4g left.
I have a skydrive(edit: its a 25GB account) account, and I think google has its own thing for could back up. but yeah dropbox does sound like a good alternative. |

There is using Stickmount app but you need root access for it to work. Dropbox is a good alternative.
